Hi, I think with what you describe is a drain fault.All the lights will come on and flash when you open the door in a programme so ignore that bit.
When you put in the programme and then shut the door, do you hear the drain pump.This is the first action it will take.If you can, I would check the sump inside is empty and then go further down, take off the black plastic inspection cover and see if water is in the base.If there is, turn off the power and drain manually with a sponge.You will then have reset the flood switch.Turn on the power and see if all is normal.When its running, check to see if the sump is leaking.If so it will be an engineer visit. All the best.
